The pill works great if your good about taking it daily. I was on Mirena and it made me crazy so then I switched to Nuva ring and that was awesome. I was on the pill for 4 years tho and never had an issue getting pregnant or anything but you just have to make sure you take it!

I started taking the pill in high school to help regulate my period and took it for probably 6 years or more. My problem was remembering to take it every day, and I never took it at the same time like your supposed to. I didn't get pregnant while on the pill or anything but it really messed with my period because I missed pills, especially right before I quit taking it because I was married and didn't care if I got pregnant!

I didn't do so hot with the pill I retained water and it interfered with my antidepressants at the time that was much more important to me so I went off the pill I tried getting back on them after I had my son and all I got was splitting headaches and I put on alot of weight and was miserable. I got a mirena instead but still got pregnant with baby number 2 while it had been in place....nothing is 100% for everyone.

The pill made my hormones go crazy. Didn't realize it was them until years later when we had our first son and I had no more issues. I was actually diagnosed with a mood disorder while taking them. Since being off of them have had no more mood issues.

I was on it in high school, took a break for basic training, and got back on it until I was married. I haven't had any issues with it. The only one I can recall is I was on orthodox tricycline lo (mild dosage) and as I got older in high school I would have break through bleeding. They switched me to regular dosage and it was fine. I was even on the mini pill while breast feeding my first then when I stopped bf I went to regular again

I was on nuva ring and was switched to the pill after an abnormal pap. I had been on the pill starting in high school and never took it regularly, with not one problem. Nuva ring was awesome! Never the option to forget it. After I switched back to the pill (4/2011) I had a mood swings like none other and that was from a low hormone pill. As an adult in a committed relationship I took the responsibility of remembering to take it, like clock work, very seriously. However, even on the pill, I got pregnant. Surprise!! No antibiotics, other meds or missed doses either. My doctor and my midwife recommend mirena. Which I will be getting 6 weeks post partum. I had asked to have my tubes tied, but was persuaded by my midwife not to. Evidently, 28 is still young when it comes to that type of decision. That and the hospital where I will be delivering is a catholic hospital and won't do it even if I have to have a c section.
